How To Set Up Customer’s Tap To Track (Tracking Widget)

You can let your customers track the status of their delivery / collection via a tracking widget. This tracking widget can be embedded into your website.

Steps

  1. Navigate to Settings > Job > Tracking Widget.
  2. Under the Tracking Widget tab, you will find your personal Tracking Widget code which is available for you to copy and paste into your website. Alternatively, you can send your customers the direct link to your tracking widget without installing it on your website.

The number of days required is usually reflective of your SLA to your vendors or customers.
If all your jobs are completed within the same day, simply select on start date (same day).
If this field is entered, your customers will be able to see the expected date of delivery or collection assigned.
Start date is by default when the job is imported into the system.
To change this start date, go to Update Delivery or Update Collection form and change the date under the field start date.

Legends

The Delivery and Collection Status Legend can be customized to suit your workflow. However, please note that only the legend can be customized, the naming of the status cannot be changed. Below are the conditions/actions by the Admin to trigger the respective status on your tracking widget:

Detrack Dashboard System Status (Internal) Assign To Delivery Date Tracking Widget Status (External- Customer Facing)
In Transit Assigned / Unassigned Today / Future Info received
In Progress Unassigned Today / Future Info received
In Progress Assigned Future Scheduled
In Progress Assigned Today Out for delivery

Once you have configured the above settings, click Save and you are done.

Testing

Click on the demo tracking widget image button to test out your tracking widget.

Our Tracking Widget is a combination of HTML (to display the button) and JavaScript (to open the window) code and can be inserted into any website.
You may require the assistance of your webmaster to place our Tracking Widget button on your website as you will need to edit HTML codes. Alternatively, you can always send your customers the direct Tracking Widget link.

Tip: you can change the image of the Tracking Widget button to your own by changing the src property of the HTML input button to point to your image file.
